The first freeze is going to happen tonight, and I have a bunch of stuff in the shop I didn't have the last go-round.
Last winter, I just had a set of battery operated tools. The batteries came inside, but the tools stayed out and held up fine. Since then though, I've made several big tool purchases. I know that I'll be bringing in any finishes and glues, but what else should I be doing to protect my investments? We don't have what most would call a predictable winter, so I couldn't tell you if it's going to be dry or wet.
The shop has a little bit of insulation. But the floor is exposed to air over the ground, it has a crappy little window that I've left cracked up until now, and the doors don't close that well - that needs to be a project I take on soon though. No heat, no power.
Thoughts?
